 - Operational reliability in industrial environments, e.g. due to rugged enclosure, redundancy, temperature range from -40 °C to +70 °C
- Increased plant availability thanks to:
- Redundant power supply
- Redundant network structures based on fast media redundancy HRP and MRP
- Standby redundancy between HRP rings
- Prevention of loops by standard STP, RSTP and MSTP mechanisms, and loop detection
- SFP plug-in transceivers can be replaced or expanded during operation
- Easy device replacement by means of plug-in C-PLUG removable data storage medium
- Link aggregation (IEEE 802.3ad) for parallel use of ports to increase transmission rate failure safety
- Easy monitoring and diagnostics due to separate diagnostics station with integrated LEDs, signaling contact, web browser, traps and e-mail transmission
- Fast mobile diagnostics by smartphone or tablet in existing WLAN using NFC (near field communication)
- Reduced engineering expenditure for PLC/HMI due to integration into the SIMATIC system fault message concept
- Configuration and diagnostics integrated into STEP 7 provide significant benefits during engineering, commissioning, and the operating phase of a plant
- Configuration in the TIA Portal as well as in Web Based Management (WBM)
- Easy integration in process and system diagnostics with PROFINET or EtherNet/IP
- Integration of SCALANCE XC-200 switches into existing network management infrastructure (e.g. SINEMA Server) through SNMP access
- Reliable plug-in connection thanks to rugged, industry-standard device connection in conjunction with industry-standard FastConnect connectors
